The lights on Broadway were dimmed on Wednesday night in his honor. Aladdin, which is currently playing on Broadway, paid homage to the original Genie on Tuesday night when James Monroe Iglehart, who is currently playing Genie, led a sing-a-long to Friend Like Me.

The Tony Award-winning performer said that while he had never met Williams, his career inspired him to get into performing and guided him to his current role.

"Although I never got to meet him in person, Robin Williams has influenced my life greatly,” Iglehart said in a statement to Broadway World. “His performance as the Genie, of course, and his entire career as a great performer and actor. I'm extremely saddened by his passing but first and foremost my heart, my thoughts and prayers go out to the Williams family. They have lost a husband and father. We as fans have lost one of the greatest entertainers ever."

Even the Twitter trend #MyCaptain recognized the scene from Dead Poets Society where the students stand up for their teacher, played by Williams, as he is fired from the boarding school.

We hope Robin Williams with be on streaming services forever

After doing some research of my own Tuesday morning, no, Dead Poets Society is not on Netflix. Neither is Aladdin. I know, I'm sad about it, too.

But, Entertainment Weeklyhas compiled a list of Robin Williams performances that are streaming on Netflix, Hulu Plus and Amazon Prime. We also hope that more will be added to these services in the future, like his many genius stand-up performances and movies.

In the video, Williams said his love for the Zelda video games in the ‘80s was the genesis of his daughter's name – not the wife of author F. Scott Fitzgerald. And now you know.

Suicide prevention and help with depression

In a statement on Thursday, Williams's wife, Susan Schneider, said that her husband was sober and was also suffering from anxiety and the early stages of Parkinson's disease. He was not ready to come out publicly with his diagnosis.

"It is our hope, in the wake of Robin's tragic passing, that others will find the strength to seek the care and support they need to treat whatever battles they are facing so they may feel less afraid," Schneider said.
